XP LAN problem
Hello all, I have sort of an interesting issue... I have a desktop computer dual booting XP SP2 and Ubuntu. It has a wired internet connection... the connection has been working without any trouble... today my wife booted to XP, and could not load a page... I was at work and told her I would look at it when I got home. The puzzling thing is that it works in Ubuntu, but not windows. In XP I can ping the router, and the external gateway. Ping the DNS servers, but cannot pull a page, or ping a hostname. I tried manually entering the DNS information, but that didn't help. I tried bypassing the router and plugging directly into the DSL modem, but still no luck... rebooted to Ubuntu just to make sure... worked like a dream... I even refreshed the page a couple of times just to be certain... then booted back to windows, and reset TCP/IP
netsh int ip reset asdf.txt
netsh winsock reset
rebooted. still no luck. Killed the firewall. No change. It was working fine yesterday... no programs were installed/uninstalled. No new hardware... I am pretty well puzzled at this point... I would reinstall the drivers for my nic, but I find it weird that I can ping all over inside my network, and some external addresses, but cannot resolve hostnames. The other two computers [both XP] connected wirelessly, are working fine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Westin
